CHAPTER XXXIX
Qi originally had five capitals, Linzi, Gaotang, Pinglu, Jimo, and Jucheng, but now only Linzi, Gaotang, and Jimo are left. To be precise, all the cities east of Muling Pass are under the jurisdiction of Jimo Doctor, which is completely different from the county system of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State, and also different from the county feudal monarchy system of the Chu State.
Jimo is already close to Donglai (Jiaodong), and he believes in the words of Fangshu more than Linzi. Tian He wanted to marry the Chu State on the basis of the alliance, and he was convinced that the Qi State would not suffer, and the ministers naturally agreed. The King of Qi is over forty years old, and there are more than 20 princesses, why not marry a princess to the King of Chu? In this way, King Qi became the father-in-law of King Chu, and King Qi's generation was born one level higher
ββSeniority is very important, who will take the stage first and who will take the stage later, and whose name will be in front and whose name will be in the back when the alliance is in the alliance. In many cases, the allies will fight for months for this order. Originally, the king of Chu took the stage first, and now that the king of Qi has become his father-in-law, then the king of Qi should take the stage first, hold the bull's ear, and take the blood first......
Ministers began to discuss what they were most concerned about and what they were best at, in an effort to gain face for their country. Qi Wang Tian Jian frowned, there is no news from Zhao State, in fact, you don't need to wait for news from Zhao State to know that Zhao State, which has allied with the Qin State, will attack Yan if you don't cut down Qi, Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and Zhao State is not a country of tigers and wolves?
When he attacked Qin, the Zhao people said that if they would attack Qi, they would attack Qi, and there was no reason. He moved his troops to Mulingguan at this time, if he really didn't make an alliance with the king of Chu, the result would definitely be disastrous, not to mention Zhao State, maybe Yan State would also send troops together. Can the Qin State be trusted? The Qin State is reliable, and it must also give the Qin State enough benefits, not to mention the cities west of Pingyin, maybe the west of the calendar (Jinan) will be returned to the Qin State......
On the one hand, the national society, and on the other hand, the baby daughter of the concubine, Tian Jian really regretted his intestines, why did he kill Chu last year? The villains were all instigated by those villains, especially the general Tian Luo.
"Queen, Ling Yin, Daji!" Yingdu Ruoying Palace, Taibu Guan Ji respectfully informed the results of the divination, and also presented the words.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Ling Yin took a deep look, "The king has Qi to get a lot of help, if he has something in the Chu country, he can ask Yu Qi." β
In Concubine Zhao's heart, her son must marry a princess of Zhao State, and the princess of Qi State naturally rejects it, but Ling Yin said that Zhao State has allied with the Qin State and will not save Chu in the future, in case something happens, only Qi State can save it, but this is not the key, what really makes Concubine Zhao reluctantly agree is another sentence: the country is in chaos, and the State of Qi can save it.
As soon as the people of the Yingdu Dynasty and the foreign dynasties arrived, almost all the people in the counties and towns were criticized: there is no need to say that Yushi kills people and does not die, this is unkind; 'Driving' Taifu Xunzi and the world's corporal to leave Chu, this is unrighteousness; It is unwise to refuse to ally with Zhao and make Qin Wei attack me; It is not clear that the county elects the people of the country and the businessmen pay for Jane;
Unkind, unjust, unwise, and unclear, this is a real faint king, and even more Confucians violently criticized the king of Chu for ruling without a crown, calling himself a barbarian, which is a great rebellion. These are mostly verbal criticisms, but Concubine Zhao, who was born in the court of the Zhao Dynasty, is still worried that the countrymen will riot and her son's throne will be lost. If you marry a Qi girl, you will marry a Qi girl, and in the future, the prince of the Zhao girl will be the prince.
"That's it," Concubine Zhao looked a little lazy, and the young woman's natural overflow of coquettishness made Nao and Guanji dare not look at each other. "However, if the Qi girl enters Chu and is not married to the king, the two cannot see each other."
"That's what I am, what I am." The marriage that the Qi people warlock came up with was very bold, but the courtiers of the Chu State were not bold. "The minister thinks that the princess of Qi should live in Xiapi or Pengcheng, so as not to meet the king."
"Good." Whether it is Xiapi or Pengcheng, they are all hundreds of miles apart, and Concubine Zhao is very satisfied with this disposal.
"It's ......" Nao Wei glanced up at Concubine Zhao and quickly bowed her head, "If the Queen Mother is fine, please retire." β
"The minister retired." Guan Ji also said, he went out of the palace with Nao Cunning.
"Who's idea, it's really ......" The palace is not a carriage or horse, and during the walk, Guan Ji thought that the king was going to marry the queen and wanted to laugh.
"Who else can there be, it's an idea that Qi Guofang came up with." It was hot, so Nao touched his sweat and said, "It's okay." After marrying the Qi people, I can worry about the east of Chu State, and the horses will also be worry-free, so I can concentrate on dealing with Qin Wei. β
"Does King Qi really want to marry a young female princess?" Guanji is still a little unconvinced, although the matter is in front of him.
*
"Queen, queen...... "In Linzi South City, there was a bloody cry from Xiaoyu, which could break any man's heart when he heard it, but unfortunately there was no man in the Ming Hall." Kejia is still young, how can she be held hostage to Chu State? Queen, Queen......"
"It is useless for you to ask the old woman, this is the will of the king." Queen Qi was married by the queen for King Qi, not beautiful, and old, and her face was lighter than that of a concubine, but she was very sensible. "The old woman said, Kejia is married to the king of Chu, and she will be the queen of Chu in the future, there are more than 20 princesses in the palace, which princess can marry the king of a country? This is a happy event, why do you weep in front of the old woman? β
"Kejia is only four years old." Concubine Li was still crying, "She hasn't been able to get married, but the king wants her to marry?" β
"The queen, Concubine Li, the princess did not marry the king of Chu immediately, but first accepted the levy, and the invitation date was set for ten years, and the princess returned to Qi in person. This trip to Chu is just a hostage. "The monk who came back from Mu Lingguan was very eloquent, and he made things clear in two or three sentences." The king of Chu was not killed, although he was not unfinished, but he broke the Qin people twice, and the world attracted attention. The ministers all said that having a son-in-law like the King of Chu should be a blessing for me. β
"Concubine Li, if you are worried, help her prepare more maid things, and the old woman will also help her prepare some, and she will leave the capital the day after tomorrow." The queen sighed, and she was also a little glad that it was not her son who was hostage. "Hey! How can the children of the Wang family not worry about their mother country? β
"Woo wooββ!" The king was not around, and the queen said that she would leave the capital the day after tomorrow, Concubine Li cried even more miserably, and the queen had to say to the palace maid who served her: "Help Concubine Li go back to the palace." β
After she left, the queen, who still couldn't bear it in her heart, asked the temple people who came to Muling Pass again, "Then the king of Chu can make someone hire and recruit?" β
"Back to the queen, then." Temple of humanity. "The huge amount of money that was given to the Chu people before was sent back by the Chu people. The ministers all said that the Guancheng in Muling Pass was the gift of the Chu people; The soldiers were even more happy, saying that in the future, the king of Chu would be the son-in-law of the king, and he would never dare to offend my Qi country again. β
"Good, great good." The queen smiled, "It's good not to offend my Qi country." It's good not to offend my Qi country. She didn't seem to be able to suppress the joy in her heart without doing anything, and shouted: "Pick jade ......"
"Queen?" The maid was actually right next to her.
"Go. Three-inch jewels in the house, choose forty; jade, choose two hundred pairs; ruler-long curtain, choose 400 pieces; Lian Zhu and Sui Sui, each choose 300 horses; Aya, choose a thousand horses; Splendid, choose 5,000 horses; 12 pairs of women's jewelry; It's a lot of money. Besides, you can pick some things to wear, use, and eat...... "The queen read out a bunch of things to dowry, all of which were valuable, and the jewel alone was worth 20,000 gold, and she only had one thought in her heart, that is, Qi and Chu would never attack.
There were so many things to be delivered, and the palace was busy for two all-nighters. Time cannot be delayed, the two countries are waiting for the alliance, the princess and those jewels and jewels have to go first, and other things will be sent later. On the day of leaving the capital, the queen personally went out of the city to see off, Concubine Li cried, and the princess made a fuss, fortunately, Concubine Li cried and cried and fainted, and the temple maids coaxed the princess to get on the car, saying that she was going to see her father, so she took Kejia to the four-wheeled carriage of the Chu people to pick up people, and rushed to Muling for hundreds of miles a day.
Xiong Jing on the side of Mulingguan really couldn't wait, he had to rush to Yingdu before the end of the month, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up with the foreign court. Fortunately, on the day of Jiyou, the princess of Qi arrived in Guancheng, and at the suggestion of Qu Guang and others, the two countries carried out the handover of Neiguan City Defense on the same day, and a column of Chu troops withdrew from Guancheng, and a column of Qi troops boarded Guancheng.
At the same time as the change of defense, the king of Qi, surrounded by the ministers, took the princess to the altar - the ministers of the two countries quarreled until the last moment for the altar, and the result was that the king of Chu and the king of Qi waited for the altar at the same time, but the king of Chu had to let the king of Qi take a step, which was equivalent to the elders going first.
King Qi is a fat man with dough, light eyebrows, and no sense of sharpness in his eyes, giving Xiong Jing the feeling that he is a good old man who is kind to people everywhere. Then Princess Kejia is completely a child, so small that Xiong Jing is not interested in it at all, but King Qi's favor for her is indeed worthy of the name, when the car door opened, she actually relied on King Qi's arms and didn't want to get down, and she coaxed for a long time before she was unwilling to let go.
"King of Chu." When Xiong Jing looked at Qi Wangjian, Qi Wangjian was also looking at him.
"King Qi." Xiong Jing is also as flat as him.
"King Qi, please." Thinking that he was going to let Qi Wangjian take a step, Xiong Jing said again.
"King Chu also please." Qi Wangjian finished looking at Xiong Jing and didn't find anything special about him, but thinking that he was only playing games in the back bed at his age, and he had already led the troops to fight, and he was still fighting in the Qin State, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Please." Qi Wang Jian smiled and bowed his head to Xiong Jing, this was the first step, he was not in a hurry to go, and when he saw Xiong Jing also took a step, he continued to ascend the steps to the altar.
The altar of the alliance should be twelve fathoms high according to the ceremony, but now everything is simple, so it is only twelve feet. Xiong Jing ascended effortlessly, and King Qi was a little out of breath after ascending the altar. Fortunately, there was nothing to do with the two of them next, and the subordinates were busy after laying the jade.
"All Chu Qi has no one to add to each other, likes and dislikes are the same, they are sympathetic to disasters and dangers, and each rescues the evil. If it is harmful, then use grain and horses to help Chu; In Qi, Chu is the same. Praise and exchange, trade is not strong, seek its disagreement, and do not seek court. There is this alliance between Chongqing, and the gods are killed. Fall to its division, there is no Kezuo country. and their great-great-grandchildren, no old or young......"
At this moment, the breeze gusted in Mulingguan, the flag fluttered, the Si Meng read out the book of the alliance, announced to the gods, and Rong held the jade dun with the blood of the animal on the right, waiting for the blood of the two kings; Thousands of miles away in Chen Ying's big city, the swordsmen of Qi State stabbed Chen Ao with a huge sword in a violent drink, and the speed was staggering; In the darkly painted court prison of the Great Liang, Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, surrounded by the prison officials of the temple, was walking to the last cell......
